ABSTRACT

AIM: To explore the emotional impact and experiences of geriatric nurses working in nursing homes and caring for patients with coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19). DESIGN: This is a qualitative study with phenomenological method and data were gathered through in-depth interview. METHODS: The experiences and expectations that nurses are facing during their care duties were explored via video conference, using a semi-structured interview guide. We have followed the Consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research COREQ. RESULTS: Interviews (N=24) were conducted with nurses from four countries (Spain, Italy, Peru, and Mexico) during April 2020. Three main categories were extracted: fear of the pandemic situation, the sense of duty and professional commitment, and emotional exhaustion. CONCLUSIONS: Regardless of the country and situation, in the face of the pandemic, dramatic situations have been experienced in nursing homes worldwide, with nursing staff feeling exhausted and overwhelmed, and reflection is urged on a global level to consider the most appropriate model of care in nursing homes.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: examinar si el cuidado centrado en la persona con demencia (CCPD) es más eficaz que la educación brindada por el equipo de Enfermería sobre la demencia en la reducción de la agitación y otros síntomas neuropsiquiátricos, así como en la mejora de la calidad de la vida de ancianos con demencia institucionalizados. MÉTODO: ensayo controlado aleatorizado realizado en seis residencias de cuatro ciudades españolas. Muestra: 150 personas en el grupo experimental (GE) y 150 en el grupo control (GC). Intervención en GE: CCPD con modelo de práctica VIPS. Variables de resultado: cambio en la escala de agitación de Cohen, en el cuestionario neuropsiquiátrico (NPI), en la escala de Cornell para la depresión en la demencia (CSDD) y en la escala de calidad de vida QUALID. Se realizaron modelos de regresión lineal múltiple de efectos mixtos. RESULTADOS: se realizó el seguimiento a 109 sujetos en el GE y 122en el GC. En lo que respecta a la diferencia de puntuaciones entre la situación basal y la final, en el GE se produjeron cambios estadísticamente significativos en el NPI agitación (-0,5; p= 0,05) y en la calidad de vida (1,6; p= 0,02). Relativo a los cambios entre la situación basal y final, ajustados por edad, sexo, estado de salud y grado de demencia, se produjo una reducción estadísticamente significativa (p< 0,05) en NPI (-2,4) y escala de depresión de Cornell (-2,6).CONCLUSIONES: la intervención CCPD ha mostrado eficacia en la reducción y prevención de la agitación y otros síntomas neuropsiquiátricos en los pacientes con demencia institucionalizados. Aún así, es preciso seguir investigando sobre el tema, especialmente en el impacto en la calidad de vida de los pacientes y en la depresión


OBJECTIVE: to examine if person-centred dementia care (PCDC) is more effective than the education on dementia provided by the Nursing team in terms of the reduction of agitation and other neuropsychiatric symptoms, as well as in the improvement of quality of life for institutionalized elderly people with dementia. METHOD: a randomized controlled clinical trial conducted in six retirement homes in four Spanish cities. Sample: 150 persons in the Experimental Group (EG), and 150 in the control group (CG).Intervention in the EG: PCDC with the VIPS practice model. Outcome variables: change in Cohen's agitation scale, in the neuropsychiatric questionnaire (NPI), in Cornell's scale for depression in dementia (CSDD) and in the QUALID quality of life scale. Multiple linear mixed effects regression models were conducted. RESULTS: follow-up was conducted on 109 subjects in the EG and122 in the CG. Regarding the difference in scores between basal and final situation, there were statistically significant changes in the agitation NPI (-0.5; p= 0.05) and in quality of life (1.6; p= 0.02).Regarding changes between basal and final situation, adjusted by age, gender, health condition and degree of dementia, there was a statistically significant reduction (p< 0.05) in NPI (-2.4) and Cornell's Depression Scale (-2.6).CONCLUSIONS: the PCDC intervention has shown efficacy in the reduction and prevention of agitation and other neuropsychiatric symptoms in institutionalized patients with dementia. Even so, it is necessary to conduct more research on this matter, particularly in terms of its impact on the quality of life of patients and on depression

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: estimar la prevalencia de sarcopenia aplicando los nuevos criterios diagnósticos, en mayores con demencia institucionalizados, analizando la asociación entre la sarcopenia, el grado de demencia y el estado nutricional. MÉTODO: estudio descriptivo trasversal multicéntrico con 189 sujetos diagnosticados de demencia en fase media, institucionalizados en siete centros residenciales de distintas ciudades españolas. Se valoraron los actuales criterios de sarcopenia a través de varias pruebas (bioimpedancia, dinamometría y pruebas de rendimiento físico). También se valoró el deterioro mediante la Global Deterioration Scale (GDS) y la Functional Assessment Staging (FAS) y estado nutricional a través del Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA). Se realizaron pruebas paramétricas (t de Student y ANOVA). RESULTADOS: el 74% era mujer y la media de edad fue de 82,3 años. El 57,1% estaba en estadio 5 y el 42,9% en estadio 6, según la GDS/FAS. El MNA indicó que el 54,6% presentaba riesgo de malnutrición, el 36,2%, malnutrición y el 9,2% estaba en normalidad. Presentó sarcopenia el 68,8% de los sujetos. Hubo diferencias significativas para sarcopenia en función de la fase de demencia, y entre sarcopenia y estado de malnutrición. CONCLUSIÓN: existe un elevado porcentaje de sarcopenia entre mayores con demencia institucionalizados y esta a su vez se relaciona con el estado de demencia y los estados de malnutrición. El profesional de Enfermería es el responsable de la valoración general, nutricional y de la planificación de los cuidados, por lo que juega un papel esencial en la detección precoz de este problema de graves repercusiones en la población mayor


OBJECTIVE: to determine the prevalence of sarcopenia, by applying new diagnostic criteria, in institutionalized elderly patients with dementia, analyzing the association between sarcopenia, stage of dementia, and nutritional status. METHOD: multicenter transversal descriptive study, with 189 patients diagnosed with dementia in intermediate stage, institutionalized in seven residential centres in different Spanish cities. Current sarcopenia criteria were assessed through different tests (bioimpedance, dynamometry, and physical performance tests). Deterioration was also assessed, with the Global Deterioration Scale (GDS) and the Functional Assessment Staging (FAS), and nutritional status was assessed through the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA). Parametric tests were conducted (Student's t and ANOVA). RESULTS: 74% of patients were female, and their mean age was 82.3 years. 57.1% were in Stage 5 and 42.9% in Stage 6, according to the GDS/FAS. The MNA showed that 54.6% presented risk of malnutrition, 36.2% presented malnutrition, and 9.2% were normal. 68.8% of patients presented sarcopenia. There were significant differences for sarcopenia based on the stage of dementia, and between sarcopenia and malnutrition status. CONCLUSION: there is a high rate of sarcopenia in institutionalized elderly patients with dementia, and at the same time this is associated with the status of dementia and malnutrition. The Nursing Professional is responsible for the overall and nutritional assessment, and for planning of care, therefore they will play an essential role in the early detection of this problem that has severe consequences on the elderly population
